1. Explain the difference b/w 1. Explain the difference b/w weathering & erosion.weathering & erosion.
Weathering Weathering breaksbreaks down rocks down rocks on Earth’s surface into smaller on Earth’s surface into smaller piecespieces
Erosion Erosion wearswears away Earth’s away Earth’s surface (wind, glaciers, moving surface (wind, glaciers, moving water), and then water), and then carriescarries materials materials awayaway
2. Explain the difference b/w 2. Explain the difference b/w physical & chemical physical & chemical weathering; give example.weathering; give example.
Physical- breaks rock into smaller Physical- breaks rock into smaller pieces pieces Water freezes in crack, ice splits Water freezes in crack, ice splits

Fast-moving water Fast-moving water cuts into land, cuts into land, wears away wears away soil/rock soil/rock creates creates sediment which sediment which grinds away other grinds away other rocksrocks
Waves erode cliffs, Waves erode cliffs, beaches, etc.beaches, etc.
Earth’s RevolutionEarth’s Revolution
• As it rotates, Earth revolves around the sun (365 days)
• Tilt + revolution = seasons–Δs in length of days and temp.
–Reversed for N & S hemispheres
Equinoxes & SolsticesEquinoxes & Solstices
• Equinox: Spring and Fall–Equal days and nights
• Solstice: Summer and Winter–Longer day or shorter day
Equinoxes & SolsticesEquinoxes & Solstices
• Spring equinox March 21- rays hit Equator directly…equal day/night
• Summer solstice June 22- rays hit Tropic of Cancer…longest day (US)
Equinoxes & SolsticesEquinoxes & Solstices• Fall equinox Sept. 23- rays
hit Equator directly…equal day/night
• Winter solstice December 22- rays hit Tropic of Capricorn…shortest day (US)
Equinoxes & SolsticesEquinoxes & Solstices
• So if it is summer in Houston, what season is it in Australia?
• If we are wearing long sleeves and jackets, what are they wearing in China?
The PolesThe Poles• For 6 months one pole is
pointed toward sun constant sunlight
• Other is pointed away little to no sunlight
“lands of the midnight sun”

Landforms Landforms affect climates of places @ the same
latitude Bodies of water moderate temps. b/c they take a long
time to change temp. Gulf of MX is warm water keeps Houston warmer
Continentality– absence of lg. body of water means more drastic weather changes Nebraska can have hot summers and receive snow in the
winters (4 seasons instead of 2 ) Rainshadow effect
Cool air releases moisture on windward side of mountain; then hot, dry air moves to leeward side creating deserts

How is EARTH made, and how does it make life possible?
LITHOSPHEREGreek: Rocky Sphere
Why does the SKY swirl and
how does it make life possible?
ATMOSPHEREGreek: Vapor Sphere
Where does the RAIN come from how does it make life possible?
HYDROSPHEREGreek: Water Sphere
What is life and how do its systems sustain themselves?
BIOSPHEREGreek: LIFE Sphere
